Peaceful or not peaceful activity. First or second grade classroom guidance. Pair with The Peace Book by Todd Parr, Martin's Big Words, or We Are All Born Free. Timely all year but especially International Peace Day (September), or MLK Day (January).

Gift ideas - Excellent recommendations from a speech-language pathologist and mother of twin toddlers on why and how to choose developmentally stimulating, battery-free toys for babies and toddlers along with a thorough gift guide.

I LOVED THESE. Those silly rubber "Poppers" that you'd flip inside out, place on a table, and watch it scare the crap out of you when it finally popped and righted itself. Admit it, you flinched every single time.
